Hey everyone it's Juna with Detour Shirts. In the last two months I've been sharing my design
with detour posts with mockups on there. So one of the questions I get a lot is.. How do I get these
mockups with people wearing my shirts or with the designs with the shirts on the side? I'm going to
show you how I do these and it's all with playet so we're going to go and play it right now I'm
going to show you my tips and tricks there how it works what you can do for free the prices and
basically everything to do with UPS now they do a lot more things than mockups but this video will
be focused on mockups and how you can make these mockups super easy and use them for social media
and I'll show you how I use them for social media on Instagram Twitter uh Facebook and and YouTube
so let's go to play it right now and I'll show you everything you need to know all right so here
we are on placeit.net you can see right there uh and I'm just going to talk about the homepage for
a little bit you can see they have a lot more than mockups so mockups is their first thing
their main thing but you can do designs they have design templates it can um show you logos as well
they do videos I have a video for that uh gaming which shows you some gaming ideas for t-shirts um
and logos if we click on here you can see merch and streaming and all those different things
for maybe people who do more gaming content and learn so they have a Blog and designed and how
to do these things so really cool tools here if you're in on the print on demand space or
selling any of these things um and um pricing right here I'll just go right into it I'm not
logged in right now I do have an account and you may want to know what the price is for that and
it is $9.99 a month about $10 a month and you get all these things like I said um so and or you can
start with a free account and I'll show you what that is if you do free account you're going to
have to sign in with your email and password and I'll show you some things that you can actually
do for free but let's go back to the homepage uh and they update this a lot so you can see uh
St Patrick's Day is coming up they have all these mockups already there um designs as well U women's
day um videos and so on so visit this regularly you'll see the changes they add new templates all
the time too so you can see there and just lots of cool stuff right so again $9.99 and you can
browse through here for all the different things there's lots of lots of great content on here and
for free a lot of things are for free so let's go here let's just go mockup uh you can see there's
outfit mockups with our trending garment but we're going to go print on demand and we're going to go
t-shirts now you can see right here uh these are some of the mockups that I've used that you might
have seen and you can put it on here they have mockups with people they have mockups with two
people they have mockups with just t-shirts or a group of people I usually like using the ones
with just people and you can see right away what it would look like um with the t-shirt on it or
design on the t-shirt and it's super easy to use use now to find the free ones it will say free
across here and you can just type in free um and you can see free t-shirt mockups like that and
these are absolutely free with your free account after you sign in uh you can use any of these and
put your um design on it so it works exactly the same way as if you had an account already so I'm
going to sign in um you don't have to you can still follow along with one of these free ones
on here and it will work exactly the same okay I'm back I'm signed in into my account and you can see
I'm on the free one here so we're just going to start with the free one now you could go in here
and search as well but we'll do that for the next one so let's do one here with the free just so
you can see how it works and I come in here this one's actually created by Ai and you can go right
here and download you can see it says 750 by 1200 pixels now that is not a hard and fast rule you
can use 4500 by 5400 but it has to be a certain size and you'll see what I mean uh when I go here
so I'm going to click on here I'm going to upload from my device here and then find the one that I
want so I'm going to do that autism one that I did before um that you might have seen that I posted
uh I created it for one of the days in February and you can see it just posted right here I made
this 4500 by 5400 it still fits on here and I can move it around right here uh and and I think there
is something yeah so I'll move this over here there's a live preview right here so you can see
uh where it is placed on the shirt and I can size it and move it up or down whever I want right and
I can hit crop well I want to center it and I can hit crop like that and it puts it on there now one
of the tips that I would say is I want a face on the design I want the T-shirt facing forward you
can see some of these right here if I use this one for example um it's kind of sideways and there's
something blocking the T-shirt uh I can change the color of the T-shirt too so you can see the
white text so there you go you can see that's not the best um way to show my t-shirt I would want a
shirt here that's forward facing right and there's no obstructions and again I can make this t-shirt
color whatever color I want let's do this color here um darker right look at that that looks great
and I can play around with the colors so any color that I have here in this design because the text
is white I'm going to want to pick some of these darker colors here but you can easily change the
colors of the T-shirt very quickly I believe this one's an AI too I can't tell nowadays it looks so
good but if we go back to the free one you would just hit download the same way this one's not a
free one but uh I can go and use this one as well let's see uh oh you can pick um recent colors that
I've used recently default colors um there is no default these colors which they pick here and you
can even do a custom color so if you actually have a hex code color you can type that in or
select from the eye drop or maybe a color that you see around here um let's see you can replace the
design really easily if this this design didn't work you can come back here and replace it you can
resize it comes back in here and make it bigger make it smaller move it up and down right right
uh hit crop again when you're done or remove this design and try something else so um this right
here ad I've never use that so let's see what it does uh add oh you can add text or Graphics to
this too I usually don't do that but you can so let's see add a graphic I can pick any of these
Graphics maybe a um do I have anything from my playset nope uploads oh these are some of the
design designs I uploaded but uh yeah you could put graphics on here if you want like um let's say
I want that over here and I could edit this and maybe color it I don't know or maybe a different
I can add more if I wanted to I bet let's see yeah or change it so I could put a graphic here if I
wanted to but I usually don't so I'm just going to delete that I think you can yeah hide that there
um let's see if you're not finding what you want you can request that and you can see other ones
that you may like you can also come down here and and use some of these mockups if you want
it so you can do that um and this one tell you it is a AI generated woman so and what what it's kind
of used for so women's day protest so you can see kind of in the background if that if it's that um
and you can um favorite these if you want and so on and share these make a copy save to I usually
just pick one I like the wide ones um more than the the portrait ones so I typically like some of
these where it's a little wider the landcape ones cuz that way I can crop crop it a lot better so
I'll show you how I do that so just to show you how it works I'm going to change the color here
I may not use this one um for autism but um we're just going to show you how it works so I'm going
to download this right now and it's going to save to my downloads folder and now I can use this and
crop it and I'll show you how they how I do that for some of my mockups and you can see right here
it's going to process your mockup you're going to have to wait till that finishes processing and
then you're just going to have another button that says download there it is click here to
download boom okay the next thing I want to show you on here for t-shirts is uh just um t-shirts
by itself so I'm just going to do t-shirt mockups again and you can see some of these are just by
itself with without anything so um t-shirts alone is that just t-shirt just t-shirt maybe that works
no that didn't um but here's one and I think it will yeah so once you pick one that has it you can
use some of these here where it's just the T-shirt right so I'm going to color this here to Black and
you can remove the background so you can actually have no background right here and I'm going to do
that and I'm going to use this t-shirt from one of my other mockups where I put it um diagonally
on the side so I'm going to download this one as well now another thing you can do is once you have
a bunch of these you can click this button right here and it'll show you all your downloads so you
can see these downloads are the ones I just did but I could hit view all downloads and you can
see these are the ones that I did for fiware and in January if I scroll and you can see I have a
ton over 33 Pages I've been doing this for a long time of mockups and it just saves them on here and
one of the nice things you can do with saving them let's say you don't have to keep these on
your um hard drive you can just keep them here and if you want to use them later they're here and you
can download them again another thing you can do is let's say you want this one again you can just
hit make more and it will bring it here and you can replace the design again and just you don't
have to hunt for this t-shirt again you can use the same t-shirt or same mockup again and just
switch out the background let me show you one more thing that may happen and that is if your design
is too big what happens so let's go on here uh I'm going to hit replace and I'm going to pick
one that's way too big so you can see here right here this is 19 megabytes right so I'm going to
try and do it and you'll see what happens file is too big maximum allow is 12 megab now some of the
times if you're on uh kiddo or you're using AI that's really big it may not fit so let me show
you a hack uh this one is built in KD but you could do this in canva or in Affinity designer
and that is to save a smaller version it doesn't necessarily have to be this size um the 750 size
but it just has to be below 12 megabytes okay I'm here on KD now you can do this on canva or
Affinity designer or wherever you make your design just make sure you download it at a smaller size
so one way to do that on kiddo is when you hit download uh you can hit remove background and PNG
instead of 4500 by 5400 you know you can make it 2,000 or whatever it is you can make it 750 if you
want as long as it's smaller than 12 megabytes so let's see if this does it this is going to be half
the size right I had 4500 now it's 2,000 so half of 19 should be eight but uh let's see I'm going
to do PNG and it's doing it remove background and let's take a look at it so yeah so it's even
smaller than eight you can see right here zero look given PNG now 4.5 megabytes so now I can go
back in here into place it I'll replace this go to my downloads there it is right here 4.5 just
pick it hit open and you can see it replaces it I can do here there's the live preview over here as
well I can see it and then I can just hit crop and there it is and I can pick a different color maybe
that green is too dark for this one I can pick a lighter green or I could come in here and do
custom and you know put it in green and then try some of the lighter ones here for for it to work
same thing come over here download hit download uh it says I'm downloading too fast slow down um
I probably clicked too fast and then I can click here to download and you can see it just works the
same way I I don't need to download this one but let's go into Affinity designer I'm going to show
you how I put together those mockups from the ones we just did and place it and how you can use it on
uh Instagram and other social media sites so here I am an affinity designer this is the file I've
made for design with DeTour for February so if you come in here you can see what I've done so um
happy Easter the design itself the PNG that you saved the shirt that I made um and place it and
the mockup I made and place it so we're going to do the same thing I'm going to copy two of these
here so you can see exactly what I'm doing and we're going to zoom in here and we're going to use
the ones that we just did right um so I'm going to come in go to my downloads page on the side
here you can't see it but I'm just going to drag in uh the mockup that we did earlier the autism
one right here and you can see because this is a square in fact it is 1500 by 1500 and you can see
it's a square it's perfect for Instagram and for Twitter and for all the other social media sites
square is the the easy size um because it fits all of those and I can just put this design you
can see it's not a square right here this is why I like using that one and then I can just crop it
to a square and kind of fit it right there and I'm going to move it to the back and remove this one
and you can make these really easy this is just text this is just a rectangle this is just my logo
and another text right here and then you got it so I would do that with yours you can put here you
can put your logo here whatever you want stickers if you're doing this in canva same thing in canva
if you did a canva at 1500 by 1500 you could drag it into canva as well and do the same kind of
treatment I'm just doing it in Affinity designer you could also do do it in inkscape Photoshop just
make sure uh that it is a square size uh and we got that right there so the next one I'm doing
here is the T-shirt let's do that autism one right here I'm going to tilt it a little bit
just put it over this one now I don't have to follow this exactly but I want it to be around
the same size and one of the things that I've been doing on here is I find this design right here and
I do a effects on it so effects got this effects right here I'm going to click on it I'll show you
what it is I did this outer glow and I'm going to do the radius of about 40 Point whatever and then
seven and then you can see how that works I'm going to get rid of this one right here because
I don't need that one and I'm going to put this here now I'm going to take this out and drag in
the autism one that I did the PNG that I saved and I can just plop it right in there now it's going
to be bigger than I need because this is 1500 by 1500 and I did it by 4500 right so I'm going to
have to scale this down to fit and I typically make the background the same color as this so if
I want to make this uh black here I'm on RGB hex but I can do CMYK and I just do that I make that
behind and that and then there you go that's it and of course I'm going to change this to
autism or whatever the day was right and then now I can save these and put it on um my social media
now I'll show you my Instagram I'll show you my YouTube uh Twitter or X and uh Facebook uh what
it looks like on those okay just lastly to show you on social media Med how I've been doing this
you can see this one is just the design but some of these if I click on this latest one
here if I scroll through them there's my mockup that we just did and here's the other one with
the T-shirt right there same thing right uh and I've been using these mockups for a while so if
you scroll down before I did design with detour you can see some of these are just uh the designs
themselves um without this um here so you can see there that's a design from place it that's place
it that's place it all of these have been Play Set uh they even do like uh anime and kawaii stuff um
including the AI stuff so lots of different um things um just thousands and thousands of
mockups so I've I've used I don't know if I've used the same one twice here you can see they're
all different people here um and on X same thing so you can see on here that's a mockup um this
is the same mockup right here U so just another way besides just using the default t-shirt from
like Amazon or from Redbubble you have another way that you can show things uh on your social
media uh and kind of brand your stuff and and so on and on YouTube right here if I go to my
community tab uh you can see I also share these as well so um if we go through here same thing right
the mockups and on Facebook here you can see I've done the same thing if I click in here uh
you can see um mockups again mockups so really good way to um use it for social media as well
just a different way instead of using the basic uh mockups from other places where it's just a
t-shirt uh you have just another way to do these things so there you go that's how you use playet
very simple super simple I use it all the time I use it almost daily uh to make those mockups
that you see on my social media platforms uh I have a lot more videos for play it I'll put a
playlist right here uh of the ones that I done for play it and it just does so many different things
so mockups is the best thing I use it for but there's also videos that I've done uh templates
and and so much more so try it out for free it's absolutely free just needs your email and stuff
and if you really want to try it I'll put a link in the description here uh it is an affiliate link
and I think it can get you some percentage off so try that out as well if you're you're serious
about it and if you're not using place it already thanks again for watching hopefully this video is
really helpful and as always guys keep creating and keep learning I'll see you on the next one bye
